Hartshorne Woods

Hartshorne Woods is a 736-acre county park located in northern Monmouth County, New Jersey. The park was named for Richard Hartshorne, who acquired the land from the Lenape for thirteen shillings in 1670. From 1948 to 1966, a US Air Force installation was active in the area. In 1974, Hartshorne Woods was created a state park, bordering Navesink Avenue and New Jersey Route 36 to the north and west and the Shrewsbury River to the east.
